Welcome to Asteria's Convos, where community is the cornerstone of our discussions.

Asteria dives into complex identities, from gender non-conformity to her journey as a newly discovered neurodivergent individual. She candidly discusses her life with challenges such as CPTSD, generalized anxiety, and chronic illness. Further enriching the conversation, Marisa, a fellow New Yorker, joins in to explore the journey of motherhood, transitioning into elderhood, and maintaining New York's vibrancy.

The episode takes a turn towards holistic health as Marisa introduces the art and science of pelvic steaming, its lost traditions, and how it intertwines with feminine health across cultures. They also explore how pleasure and consent take center stage in personal empowerment, drawing insights from Dr. Betty Martin's work on the wheel of consent.

Tune into this episode for an enlightening conversation on community, healing, and the future, as Asteria and Marisa inspire us to think about what it means to build a connected, inclusive world.
